Small Soldiers (1998)
6.3/10on IMDb
Released
A boy gets caught between toy factions whose quarrel spills into the neighborhood. The idea of small things suddenly having a plan of their own is the attraction. It is a noisier and rougher movie than the toy-shop setup suggests, better for older kids who want an action film.

Released
Arrietty and her tiny family have to make a full-sized house work on their own terms. Watch it for the way an everyday object can become equipment once you are small enough to see it differently. This is a good pick when ingenuity matters more than speed.

The Big Green (1995)
5.6/10on IMDb
Released
Watch this team through Larry Musgrove, the goalie who finds himself on the spot when a match reaches a shootout. The coaches get the team onto the field, but it’s the children who have to act when the game gets close. The sunny tone makes this a gentler choice than a sports movie built around a cruel rivalry.
